Asian American boba brand finds opportunity after Simu Liu sparks cultural appropriation debate

It's not even that traditional. It's time for people to realize that its not all about you and your culture.

This is a sign of the madness infesting our modern society.

Cultural appropriation ( can only be done by certain colours), victimisation, attacks in integrity is what it’s all about these days.

Only Italians can make pizza? Only Japanese for sushi?

I like some Japanese pizzas better than traditional Italian ones. These are just businesses, so why don't we judge the owners by the quality of the food?

The U.S. to the world: We want our burgers back! And stop appropriating our obesity epidemic.

Simu Liu sparks cultural appropriation debate

This "cultural appropriation" thing is one of the weirdest woke concepts ever. What kind of cartoon land do these people live in? Everybody in the world should dress and behave like their ancient ancestors, whoever they are? Should the Germans here start complaining about all these October fests in Tokyo? Insane.

LOL! And please do not imitate our wokeness insanity!

Liu was born in Heilongjiang, China. Now he doesn't want a Canadian company to appropriate the cultural heritage of Taiwan, China. I like this guy.

"He also pointed out there was nothing on their packaging that acknowledged sandwiches' cultural roots in Britain."

I make Bobba tea on Saturdays mornings at home and enjoy it cold with ice in the evening.

There are many Asian Tea shops around in California offering many options.

I first had Bobba tea when I visited Vietnam many years ago.

Just love it.

Tea was invented in England by Lord Tetley of Yorkshire.

Bubble was first used by Shakespear. "Hubble bubble in Macbeth.

So does that make Bubble tea British?

And Lord Tetley collected the leaves from Ilkley Moor? Bah Tat.?

Only Japanese for sushi?

In the West it's extremely rare for a Sushi place to have any ownership or workers that are Japanese. In particular once you get away from large costal cities that had existing Japanese diasporas.

If anything, I think it's weaponization of woke culture by people who aren't particular woke and manufactured outrage.

In the west it's extremely common that a sushi bar is owned by a Japanese person. California is home to many Japanese sushi shops. Most are run by a Japanese owner. So rare? Hardly.
